Puppy Kisses and Cheesecake - What a Combo!!!

 Good Monday to you!

As promised, here are a few pictures of our new babies - Daisy and Violet!  Aren't they cute? They are sisters and I rescued them from a local shelter.  The shelter is a high kill facility and I just couldn't bear the thoughts of these little ones being put to sleep - could you?  So they are our newest family members and they keep us hoppin'!

Sleeping (sorta) With Cristian
Both are very sweet puppies.  They have pretty big feet so they will be larger dogs.  That's ok though.  I wouldn't have cared how small or how big they would be - just as long as they weren't put down.

Now, a few posts ago I showed you the Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake that is supposed to be a close second to the Cheesecake Factory.  Well, I finally made it and according to my friend Michele, it tastes exactly like the one from Cheesecake Factory!!!  Check it out!


This Icing is to Die For!
 
The Cheesecake Layer is Scrumptious!

I have to say that I was surprised how easy it was to make.  It really did come out great.  I'd venture to say that it's my favorite thing I've ever made baking wise!  What a compliment from my friend, too!!  I have a feeling I'll be making many more of these in the future - LOL!!!  So if you missed the original post, scroll down a few and get the recipe for yourself - you won't be sorry!!!

Have a fantastic Monday!  See ya later!

'GOTCHA DAY' and Decorah Eagles 3rd Egg Hatch


As we were enjoying dinner last night with friends at Texas Steak House for Cristian's 'Gotcha Day', the 3rd egg hatched in Decorah, Iowa.  Of course, after having watched over the past few days and to have missed the last egg hatching was very disappointing.  But thanks to the folks at the Raptor Resource Project and Xcel Energy, we can relive the moment at YouTube!  And lucky for you, I've included that video in today's post. (See above)

As I mentioned, yesterday was Cristian's 'Gotcha Day'.  It is a very special day in our family because that is the day that we officially became one!  Each year we honor this day with a small celebration of sorts. 

On April 6, 2003, we were blessed with an incredible boy who we proudly call son.  Hence, his 'Gotcha Day' celebrations began!  Every year on this special day he gets to pick a favorite meal at home or place to eat out and usually he gets to do something special as well.  This year he chose the steak house for dinner and he's having a couple of friends sleep over on Saturday night.  We're hoping for good weather because they want to sleep in the tent and so far it looks good for that!

Well, that's it for today.  Enjoy the video and we'll chat soon!
